Queensland Country Health Fund offers you the option to claim your benefit at the time of your consultation with providers who have electronic claiming facilities. HICAPS/IBA is an electronic health claiming and payments system. The system processes your claim much like an EFTPOS or credit card transaction and allows you to just pay the difference, and this convenient method finalises your claim on the spot without leaving the surgery or practice.

Health service providers currently using HICAPS/IBA include:

• Dentists, Endodontists, Periodontists, Dental Prosthetists/Advanced Dental Technicians, Prosthodontists, Paediatric Dentists
• Dispensing Optometrists, Optical Dispensers
• Physiotherapists
• Chiropractors
• Osteopaths
• Podiatrists
• Occupational Therapists
• Psychologists
